About Scallion

Scallions, also known as green onions or spring onions, are a versatile vegetable commonly used in various cuisines, including Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Mexican dishes. These slender, tubular plants offer a mild onion flavor and are often used raw as a garnish or added to soups, stir-fries, and salads for a fresh, zesty kick. Packed with nutrients, scallions are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as important antioxidants. They also contain fiber and certain compounds believed to support heart health and boost immunity. Low in calories, scallions are an excellent addition to a balanced diet. Their high water content makes them hydrating but can dilute some nutrients when cooked for extended periods. Overall, these flavorful greens provide a light, nutritious way to enhance meals while supporting overall health.
